The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter Chapter 118 Discussion

Going into this novel, I wasn't expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised by the writing. The tags said that the protagonist is overpowered, but after reading early on, I understood that this comes with heavy conditions, which is basically in the title. The protagonist only gets OP when he fights demons. Any other time he's working his bu*t off to get stronger. He manages the relationships at first to secure safety as the heroines of the game are the super strong ones starting out. Now, comparatively when he (the protagonist) fights demons early on he only gets boosted enough to make it possible to defeat the demons. He doesn't (and never will, at least to the point I've read) one shot the demons. It is always a struggle and the fights have been mostly satisfying. I think the only fight that was the least enjoyable was the very first fight with Trevion.

That aside, the plot has many twists and turns, referencing the game as he goes. The numerous referenced final boss "The evil god" and the fear behind it is very believable. Reading the continuous events that build on the characters and make them lifelike and not 1 or 2 dimensional really help sell this story to the reader. Some previous reviewer's have said the pace is atrocious but I must strongly disagree. If you are reading this like a slice of life book you are going to be completely caught off guard. The book is fast paced, but not to the point of concern as these types of games always have something interesting happening, so him being thrown into a game world helps make the rapid pace of events happening believable. Plus it makes for a more enjoyable reading experience when you never have a dull moment.

I also like the humor derived from the "main character's" constant failure to get the right events/choices and having the protagonist complete/correct them, ensuring a good ending while avoiding the bad ones.

Overall the logic in the writing is sound and there is very little, if any, suspension of disbelief for this novel, in my opinion (besides the initial premise is that he reincarnates into a game character, but I knew that going in).
